Default Language of Comments

I'd like to change the default language of a new comment in a doc to "British English".

At the moment, it's set to "English" so all my custom spellings are ignored.

I have System Preferences>Language & Text>Text>Spelling set to "British English", but this doesn't seem to determine the Language (as indicated in the Inspector Text/More tab, "Language" pull down menu).

You probably want the whole system to be in british English. Change the localisation language in the system preferences > LAnguage and text > Language > Edit list > choose British English > Ok > Drag B.E. to the top of the list > Log out of your account and in again.
